Need help installing Dish Network cables?

Okay I am having major issues here. When I lived with my parents, I had the Dish Network installed at their house. About a year later, I moved to a different house in the same town. I did the dish mover thing and had a new dish installed at the new place. While I did this, my Dad unhooked all the cables that were hooked to the dish at their house. Now do to some unfortunate cirstances I have to move back to their house. My Dad can't seem to figure out exactly how to hook the cables up the way they should be. I don't have the money to have dish network come rehook it all up and I do not want to sign up for a new contract with them to get it done for free. I have a 4 room service with 2 receivers. 2 rooms are dvr 2 are regular. I need step by step instructions as to how to hook up all the cables and splitters and please use idiot terms because I have no clue what technical mumbo jumbo means. Dish Network said it would be no problem to hook it up myself and it should work if it's installed right. Right now however only one of the four tvs are working. The tv1 for the dvr is the only one working and I am only getting about half the stations. He says he has it hooked up how he remembers it being but obviously that is not right. The way it needs to be hooked up is a little complicated. The living room is on the back of the house and one of the bedrooms that is on the opposite end of the house and on the front are the two tvs that need to be connected to the dvr receiver. A bedroom on the front and the other end of the house and a bedroom on the back opposite end of the house are the 2 that need to be hooked up to the regular receiver.. I have a dish 500 or pro 500 I believe. I would greatly appreciate help of someone who really knows how to give step by step instructions in lamens terms.
